Finn says he filed motions and made several court requests. “Initially it was to get the medical records regarding Arnav. Secondly, it was personal belongings like a scooter and a backpack. We won those too. And then the judge said ‘give them the car back.’”

Police have been holding the Lexus since January of this year, when 10-year old Arnav Dhawan was found dead inside the family home. The child had been wrapped in a cloth and placed in a dry bathtub, with ice packs.

Police claimed the vehicle was part of their murder investigation. The vehicle has been at a crime lab. Finn said he expects the car to be in working order one turned over to the Dhawan family. “The judge made it clear. He said, ‘give it to them in the same condition that you took it.’”
